Nottinghamshire business fundraiser launched to make PPE for NHS workers – can you help?

Managing director Jon Tolley’s wife ( Jon and his wife are West Bridgford residents ) is a critical care practitioner at an NHS intensive care unit, and found herself without the necessary PPE earlier this week.

Prime can make thousands of visors a day at present and is hoping to ramp that up to 10,000. The fund at the time of publishing is over £6,000.

Can you help fund the manufacture and distribution of vital PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) visors, today?

Nottinghamshire business, Prime Group, has swung into action to make disposable visors for NHS staff left without the necessary PPE in the face of the Covid-19 emergency.

Managing director Jon Tolley’s wife ( Jon and his wife are West Bridgford residents ) is a critical care practitioner at an NHS intensive care unit, and found herself without the necessary PPE earlier this week (w/c 23rd March).

Nottinghamshire-based Prime Group looked at how it could use its existing expertise in lasercutting and plastics to come up with a solution.

“We picked up a used, cleaned visor, dissembled it and produced our first prototype the next day,” Tolley explained.
